Flashcards covering key concepts from the lecture on file handling, build tools, and TypeScript.

S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service)

The industry standard for file storage, where files are uploaded and a URL is provided for database storage.

Golden Rule of File Storage

Never store actual images or videos in your database to avoid making it slow and huge.

Streams

Method for handling large files by sending small chunks at a time, preventing server memory issues.
